PeoplesChoice.com caught up with the actor recently and pressed him to divulge 3 terrific scoops about the current season of the show. While some of his reveals (guest-star Robert Wagner is back!) weren’t a huge surprise, he did have some interesting things to say about what’s ahead for Tony post-Ziva’s departure.

“My character has gone through enough upheaval this season with the loss of Ziva (Dote de Pablo) and lots of hardship, said Weatherly, who was joined by his wife Bojana Jankovic. “You’ll really have to see. There’s a big thing happening.”

Watch the interview below and find out why Weatherly thinks the finale episode will establish season 11 as the “best season yet.”

I agree. I haven’t enjoyed Season 11 very much. It has been very disjointed. Emily as Bishop is cute and quirky but not a good fit as a full time character. I think she’s better as a part-time in addition to Ziva. I have really missed the comedic banter between Ziva, Tony and Macgee that they usually have at the beginning of the episode. NCIS LA still does that and it adds to and lightens the drama. Macgee and Dinozzo going it alone with comedy doesn’t work for me. I hold out hope that Cote will return.

Oh well season 11 sucks so if he says the sFinale will be make this the best season ever, then it must be Cote coming back, there’s no other solution for this shameful mess that’s season 11… really, was he paid by CBS to say these things too??
